· Always disconnect the MPC2000XL from the power supply by pulling on the plug, not the
cord.
· Allow only an AKAI professional dealer or qualified professional engineer to repair or
reassemble the MPC2000XL. Apart from voiding the warranty, unauthorized engineers
might touch live internal parts and receive a serious electrical shock. There are no
serviceable parts inside.
· Do not put, or allow anyone to put any object, especially metal objects, into the
MPC2000XL.
· Use only a household AC power supply. Never use a DC power supply.
· If water or any other liquid is spilled into or onto the MPC2000XL, disconnect the power,
and call your dealer.
· Make sure that the unit is well-ventilated, and away from direct sunlight.
· To avoid damage to internal circuitry, as well as the external finish, keep the MPC2000XL
away from sources of direct heat (stoves, radiators, etc.).
· Avoid using aerosol insecticides, etc. near the MPC2000XL. They may damage the
surface, and may ignite.
· Do not use denaturated alcohol, thinner or similar chemicals to clean the MPC2000XL.
They will damage the finish.
· Modification of this equipment is dangerous, and can result in the functions of the
MPC2000XL being impaired. Never attempt to modify the equipment in any way.
· Make sure that the MPC2000XL is always well-supported when in use (either in a
specially-designed equipment rack, or a firm level surface).
· In order to assure optimum performance of your MPC2000XL, select the setup location
carefully, and make sure the equipment is used properly. Avoid setting up the MPC2000XL
in the following locations:
1. In a humid or dusty environment
2. In a room with poor ventilation
3. On a surface which is not horizontal
4. Inside a vehicle such as a car, where it will be subject to vibration
5. In an extremely hot or cold environment

WARNING
THIS APPARATUS MUST BE EARTHED
IMPORTANT
This equipment is fitted with an approved non-rewireable UK mains plug.
To change the fuse in this type of plug proceed as follows:
1) Remove the fuse cover and old fuse.
2) Fit a new fuse which should be a BS1362 5 Amp A.S.T.A or BSI approved type.
3) Refit the fuse cover.
If the AC mains plug fitted to the lead supplied with this equipment is not suitable for your type of
AC outlet sockets, it should be changed to an AC mains lead, complete with moulded plug, to the
appropriate type. If this is not possible, the plug should be cut off and a correct one fitted to suit
the AC outlet. This should be fused at 5 Amps.
If a plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the distribution board should NOT BE GREATER than 5
Amp.
PLEASE NOTE: THE SEVERED PLUG MUST BE DESTROYED TO AVOID A POSSIBLE
SHOCK HAZARD SHOULD IT BE INSERTED INTO A 13 AMP SOCKET
ELSEWHERE.
The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
GREEN and YELLOW --EARTH
BLUE
--NEUTRAL
BROWN
--LIVE
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this apparatus may not correspond with the
coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, please proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured GREEN and YELLOW must be connected to the terminal which is
marked with the letter E or with the safety earth symbol
or coloured GREEN or coloured
GREEN and YELLOW.
The wire which is coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the
letter N or coloured BLACK.
The wire which is coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal which is marked with
the letter L or coloured RED.
THIS APPARATUS MUST BE EARTHED
Ensure that all the terminals are securely tightened and no loose strands of wire exist.
Before replacing the plug cover, make certain the cord grip is clamped over the outer sheath of
the lead and not simply over the wires.
